Ticket Offers and Opportunities to Volunteer at 2004 U.S. Women’s
Open
When
the 59th annual United States Women’s Open is held at the
Orchards at Mount Holyoke, Monday, June 28, through Sunday, July
4, 2004, it is hoped that many members of the College community
will participate in the national women’s golf championship,
the world’s largest sporting event for women. Tickets will
be made available to the community soon, before they go on sale
to the general public in mid-May. All Mount Holyoke students,
parents, faculty, and staff will be offered these specially priced
tickets and packages. Watch your mailboxes for these offers, which
will arrive shortly.
In addition, the United
States Golf Association invites members of the community to serve
as volunteers for the event. More than 2,200 volunteers will provide
many important services, including marshaling, welcoming spectators,
directing traffic, and operating scoreboards. Volunteers will
be assigned to one of twenty-three committees and will be asked
to work at least four shifts of four to six hours. Each volunteer
is required to purchase a $95 volunteer package (a $200 value),
which includes a uniform, a pass for all seven days of the championship,
a meal for each shift worked, and a volunteer-appreciation party
and merchandise sale prior to the championship.
To complete a volunteer application, visit www.2004uswomensopen.com

Spanning 250 acres, the Orchards Golf Club was designed by Donald
Ross and opened in 1922 as a nine-hole layout. Nine holes were
added in 1927.
